NAIA Schedule and Links, Games of the Day, Five Players to Watch: January 13th

Games of the Day:

Saint Ambrose @ Saint Francis (IL) 4:00pm CT Live Video

Fun little matchup in the Chicagoland this afternoon. Ambrose is 2-0 in CCAC play and 7-2 overall. Saint Francis is 1-0 in CCAC play and 8-3 overall. Both teams have some good wins under their belt and this should be a great ball game. Ambrose will be looking to throw the ball inside to John Kerr, while Saint Francis will look for it’s advantage on the perimeter with Eric Ting and Joey Buggemi. 

 10 Marian @ 20 Saint Francis (IN) 7:00pm ET Live Video

Marian is coming off of a heart breaking loss, to Huntington, on a last second shot. Saint Francis is coming off a heart breaking loss, to Grace, on a last second shot. It will be interesting to see how these teams bounce back in this game. Saint Francis is now 2-3 in the Crossroad and needs a big home win tonight. Marian sits at 3-2 in league play, but another loss here moves them down the standings quite a bit. Important game for both teams tonight. 

 25 Bethel @ RV Oklahoma Wesleyan 8:00pm CT Live Video

Another game that should be a battle in the KCAC. Bethel will take it’s nine game win streak into a big matchup with the preseason KCAC favorites OKWU. This is an important game for both teams in their goal to win a regular season KCAC title. With both teams sitting at 1 and 2 in the standings, this game could go a long way in tie breaking scenarios down the road,
